This tore me apart. I was trying to romance Gale at the start of my playthrough, but Astarion was more willing to go forward with things. So that's the direction I ended up going and Gale gives me the "We need to talk" icon. 😢 We're still really good friends, but playthrough I'm fully dedicating to him.
The glitch that makes it so if Gale has high approval of you he thinks you are together is hilarious. I spent the whole of act 1 romancing Astarion and then suddenly in act 2 Gale is all “you’re cheating on me!? 😢”. Like, bro calm down. I’ve only ever asked you about your cat. That is the extent of our conversations. Chill.
This reminds me of my dragon age origins playthrough where Lilianna thought I cheated on her with Alistair. I only talked about shoes with you and I don't swing your direction!
I kind of lucked out since I was waiting on Halsin to be available, but clingy Gale was just the worst! I like him a lot & he'll have his spotlight in my game eventually but he was a handful trying to swat away.
Literally had the same issue in act 2. Had to romance Wyll to get the confrontation to break it off. The only problem is now I found out how heart broken Wyll is, his dialogue is crushing. So now I'm in it for the long haul with Wyll instead of Halsin 😮😮😮 oops
@@cemreilgaz4643 1. It's mostly a joke 2. Considering his mission, his emotional state is really fragile in act 2 3. I don't think it's "just" a matter of sex to him. He was opening his heart and soul to you. Even showing the illusion of his home. Kinda like, if you prepare a very romantic night for your lover then the next morning they say "eh it's fine", that's a bit hurt imo
Same. I bought the game for Astarion, romanced Bae'zel and the vampire in act 1, but broke up with both because I fell in love with Gale. Now he and my tav are together 🎉
I participated in his weave demonstration because I thought, "hey, I wouldn't mind some bromance time with Gale". But I guess that was a trigger for a full on romance for him lol
Oh man, I went along with the weave scene because I thought “Oh, he has something to show me? Magic lessons? Cool.” Then not five minutes later I’m talking to Lae’zel and she hits me with the line that it was a pity I already promised my body to Gale and I was literally like I WHAT?! Yeah, letting the oblivious ace loose on BG3 has had some rather entertaining moments lol
@@pikabolt5196OBLIVIOUS ACE HAHA SAME at one point the Wyll romance scene triggered and I was SHOCKED bc I was nice to him like… twice? But I guess I picked the flirting options by accident??
I always see an option that explicitly makes it clear that you are being friendly with Gale, and when you two are in each other heads that you “Feast together, as friends” and he reacts positively
They wanna make sure your heart is crushed and pulverized to dust when you're being naughty behind the back of some of these companions. I'm not even involved and it's hurting my feelings on his behalf XD
Or even just when you reject them. I’m romancing Gale but I made a save and, just for fun, I tried picking all of the mean options and when I tell you, I felt SO BAD…I had tears in my eyes because I felt like such a monster. lmao Also I turned Wyll down for the “intimate dance” since I didn’t want to risk messing up romancing Gale and he looked so WOUNDED. Why is Larian doing this to us?? XD
They really do want you to feel bad. Between Gale being so heartbroken if you even look at another person and Astarion completely disassociating duing group sex or overcompensating with positive comments after you have another partner....how can I feel this much guilt about video game charatcers?! I just wanna have fun non serious sexy time
The hesitation with the cursor flicking about every option is so relatable, I always struggle to pick one companion to romance in roleplaying games as well (also your Tav looks very unique, lotsa fun was had in the character creation!)
It's always a struggle, mostly because I'd like to know what they would respond at every single option! And thank you! I love how she turned out, not a really typical tiefling but hey, atypical is cool too!
My favorite part of this game was that on my first play through I was like “my god all the companions think I’m coming on to them! I thought I was just being nice and showing interest in them as individuals!” And it turns out I was in fact picking all the romance options. I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t notice sooner, and then I remembered that I’m autistic and literally one of my biggest social blind spots is flirting/romance. Like IRL I have to ask people point blank “are you flirting with me or just joking? And if you are flirting are you flirting as a joke or because you want to pursue me?”
Oh god that's so me. I was told I was flirting with someone, and that it was inappropriate, but I honestly wasn't trying to or even had any idea I was coming across as that? I thought I was just being friendly. Then again men tend to perceive simple friendliness as flirting too so sometimes the misunderstanding is their fault. I don't want to flirt with anyone. I just want friends :(
Yeah, I accidentally romanced Gale in my first play-through and I It’s just happened again and again ever since. He’s definitely a giant romantic softie and the least 🚩🚩of all of them.
I accidentally lined up the timelines for Karlach getting her second alloy and Astarion confessing his feelings to happen on the same night - Astarion’s cutscene beat hers to the chase, and she was ready to pulverize me… and not in a fun way 💀 So TIL Karlach can get incredibly scary 😂
Wyll is the least red flaggy of them all are you kidding ?? Gale's somewhat obsessed with power and Mystra. The only downside with Wyll is his pact :OOOO Wyll is a sweet romantic and loving cinamon in a shiny white armor è0é Edit: [SPOILER ACT 3] Even though the boat scene is freaking awesome when Gale tells you that "you'll never be not enough for me" Wyll is the safest choice imo ~
Im playing as Gale so i can see the other romances. There's no way I can romance someone else if not😂 He is so funny and nerdie I love him, specially when he solves the puzzles for you.
That's what I'm going to do for my second playthrough, I tried with a custom character again to do Astarion romance, but I LITERALLY can't say no to Gale, my nerdy silly sexy wizard 😭
I feel you. Even though I made a character specifically to romance Lae'zel, it feels wrong. Just love Gale so much. Especially so since he reminds me of my dear husband in so, so many ways.
Those were the moments where I almost wished I romanced him. When he was so excited seeing the chess pieces & immediately volunteered to give his expert advice. Intelligence can be sexy.
Yeah, i didnt know he can solve puzzles until we went to the dragon cave the secont time, first time i brought Wyll but he was so sad for failing that i reloaded and took Gale. He instant tells you the resolution to the chess puzzle. I was like. YOOOOO! Where have you been all my life? :D
“I think I am no longer the cause. It’s astarion isn’t it” my tav actively pale and woozy from blood loss: I mean what gave it away. To your credit I danced with wyll and he thought we were gonna get married. So
Thank you for uploading this - I was too scared of breaking Gale's heart to even attempt romancing any of the other characters lol. I tried to reject him once (just to see the dialogue and then reload) and I couldn't do it 😂
@@Lleanlleawrg His story is incredibly well written, and is an incredibly well done metaphor. I believe if he had more things to do on his questline he'd be better then Astarion, I say this as my main issue with Astarions plot is how little it ties into the actual story, while Shadowheart and Lae'zel have entire main story character moments, Wyll also kind of does with Ansur in a way, Karlach in a sort of same middle ground as Astarion and Gale, having little connection to the main overarching story (other then Gortash) and not much interactivity, just, go here there and talk to them done (Other then Gortahs again ig) I don't hate any of the characters but Wyll has my least fave story as I wish he did more in it. I wish he had more... change... Gale has his arc of realising he's a grooming victim, hating Mystra and is furious about her demands, blinded by rage when he tried to show compassion and love to the goddess he adores, and all she showed was neglect and carelessness in their relationship, then banished him when he tried to do something nice but it backfired due to an unexpected turn he never could have anticipated. Then sends his friend to tell him his ex demands he kill himself now, as it's the only way to save the world, then proceeds to immediately find another way to save the day. Like... wth Mystra.
I just finished my run as Gale, where I could not romance him since I was playing as him. Now I started a new one with the intention of romancing Astarion but it's going to be difficult I cant say no to Gale :((
I had two playthrough with Gale and Astarion romance. Astarion is charming, yes, but Gale, well he is so kind, so smart and gentle, just the man of my dream 😍 Yeah, he had abusive relationship with goddess and he is literally a walking bomb but who cares? He is just perfect for me
I somehow managed to romance him while actively trying to romance Astarion, in the end I chose Astarion but oh man would I have loved to be with Gale too 😭 in another playthrough 😤
Seriously, I accidentally romanced Gale - and I was starting to think, “oooo actually I like this,” but then he friendzoned himself. Next time, I’ll have to focus my efforts because now the approval glitch is fixed, I feel like they’ve over corrected so it’s easy to accidentally friendzone him if another companion takes interest
This happened to me. Did the magic thing and left, he flirted a couple of times when he ws traveling with the group, my character was fully romancing Astarion. Withers said something about bosom buddies and both showed up on the chocies. I was a little confused since nothing actually happened with Gale that suggested him as a bosom buddy and then after having a conversation with Astarion about liking each other (can't remember what triggered that when you tell him you like him), Gale was all mad about not letting him know you choose Astarion but there was no you need to dump Gale choice when talking to Astarion first. After that there was a scene where your sitting with Gale looking at the scenery (impending doom of him blowing himself up) and he wanted you to sit with him but at the same time all nice dialog chocies made him mad. I think he even said we weren't friends or that close. The same thing happened on another play through with Wyll. You dance but no kissing an all of the sudden you are in a relationship. At least he was nicer about being friends when you broke up. I think the magic scene with Gale is described in such a way it's actually like Mystra is watching you and Gale.
Apparently him getting pissed at all the nice dialogue choices when you're looking at the stars was a glitch that has since been patched. I had flirted with him a few times but never had to turn him down (I had to turn down Wyll for Astarion) and I felt like my only dialogue options were either "sucks to suck, dude" or romantic, no platonic choice available and he got soooo pissed at the romantic dialogue, I read a month later that Larian fixed Gale's "attitude problem" during that scene.
I like, that in the origin version of his audience with Mystra, you can tell her that you didn't sacrifice yourself because you have moved on from her and there is someone else now, while during the Act II finale you can justify refusing the explosion with not wanting to harm all of your friends. I wish the none-origin version of Gale had some way to express similar sentiments.
@@anska7475 I honestly was expecting something like that when I played the first time and I was kind of disappointed, but then I played as him and was so happy to see that option !
Hm....I should create a tall, buff elven female wizzard and go this route. It seems fun! Well, that and I don't think I'll be able to suffer through another trauma that is Karlach's romance.
Oh. My. Word! My heart 🥺💔❤️🔥 it burnses us! I guess it hurt worse watching this, because I went through a heartbreak myself when my husband didn't want me or our four little ones, and left. Granted, it was 10 years ago, but it's still fairly fresh, especially since his recent death. For those years of separation, the kids and I still had hope that he would get his life back together and come back to us. No such luck.
"with you i forget my goddess" - gale his ex is literally the deity that gives him his powers, cut him some slack lol he cant just forget about her shes the goddess of magic (and groomed him)
@@givebackmybreadsticksI'm nearly at act II and all hes done is say he'd like to bone at some point in the future, not now though where there's an inn with private rooms. The time isn't right>_>
@@givebackmybreadstickssay it louder for the gale haters in the back. 'just forget her lol', thats like telling an ex-christian to forget how much they used to love jesus
but dude.. my Tav been listening to your tales about your relationship with Mystra in Act 1.. she also thought she had no chance, y'know?? and then you get jealous when i promised Astarion a 'good time' during the Tiefling's celebration??????? my Tav and me have never been so confused lol i actually had to google what would happen if we spend time together that night..
I kinda wished he was more reistent to fixing things i feel like going from absolutely crushed and heart broken to overjoyed that you prefer him even without a proper apology or cooldown moment just feels really desperate and sad and i wish it wasnt so easy to fix makes it feel empty like you can break his heart without consequences
the point is that he is a broken and lonely person and is fine being trampled on. also, im not exactly sure why he should apologise? he just caught you cheating on him. if you want to look at it from a 'realistic' human perspective, he shouldnt even be asking which one of them you want since by that point any emotionally healthy person wouldve just dumped your ass also spoilers for act 3 act 3 circus confirms that he genuinely believes the world would be better off if he was dead. when you choose him he becomes elated because he feels like someone is actually caring about him and that hes alive.
I’m romancing Gale and adore him, but I wanted to see Wyll’s scene play out. Got this chat with Gale the next day, and it’s enough of a wrist slap for me to never want to do it again. 😂 I’m so sorry, Gale.
He also has a really hostile version of this scene, i got it when i started a romance with minthara after committing to gale ... Maybe I'm crazy but he's really hot when he's jealous
Damnit I can relay to too many of the comments below :') I'm playing lovestory with Gale now, while I planned to have other games with at least Astaroin and Wyll, but I also have doubts that I manage refuse Gale in those 😭😭😭😭I'm already thinking to not take him with me at all in those games to avoid unlocking my feelings for him .......
I remember the night after I did the deed with Karlach Gale wanted to talk with my character so I talked with him and he told me all of this and I was like "Huh?????" I barely took him with me in my travels, he essentially never leaves the camp and whenever I talked with him it was to feed him magical artifacts/items. (My party consists of Shadowheart, Karlach and Astarion. Ffs I've even had Wyll and Lae'zel in my party more than Gale) This was definitely on Gale because I dropped heavy hints that I was trying to romance Astarion, Halsin and Karlach and unintentionally Lae'zel (I ended up going with Karlach in the end)
I just had the hug scene with Astarion and Gale was so sad and jealous and it broke my heart to say “I’m sorry, it’s Astarion.” I was like “Gale, don’t be too sad. Next playthrough it will be you!”
i’m so glad i romanced gale cause he’s the sweetest companion ever 😭 after you finish his quest he calls you “my love” and omg, in here for all of it. he’s a massive green flag too 😭🙏💕
it makes complete sense with the characters but aaaaaa i love gale so much and i love everyone else and i hate being forced to chose but also like this is just good character writing having not everyone being comfortable with polyamory. tho ig thats what mods or multiple playthroughs are for
3rd playthrough, romanced gale. Best butterflies in my stomach. My first 2 playthrough was neutral good Tav and Evil durge and I hooked astarion & halsin like a harem.
Bruh you should see the dialog if you sleep with him in act 2 and then tell your other boo the next day you'd rather be with them. "An icicle through the heart would have been kinder"
And this is why I just make multiple saves for romances and say no to anyone flirting that isnt the companion I picked. Cause I cant do this, Id cry just knowing they are jealous / hurting XD
I had this happen after 1 dance with Wyll. What I want to know is how Gale knew? No one else saw us; it was in the middle of the night and everyone else was supposed to be asleep.
this man is so great! and then the game make him throw everything in the trash just to became a god cause i didn't selected some option to RETURN to mystra with the crown even if i passed a 30 dc test.
I had to kill Gale temporarily in act 2 because he kept popping up in my butler scene instead of Astarion. I never once flirted with him and even got this scene and rejected him beforehand but HE STILL THOUGHT WE WERE TOGETHER. It made the butler's comments meaningless since I didn't care if the urge did the thing to Gale at that point.
Do you know if you can proceed in both romances past the first 2nd romance scene with one of them? I only just got the dance scene with Wyll and didn't have the actual chance to bond really with Gale just yet. Is that chance gone once you kiss Wyll?
Gale doesn't share. I don't know about Wyll. But yeah, if you had the dance scene with Wyll you should get Gale having this jealous scene right after the dance scene and if you choose him you will also get Gale's romance scene, so yeah technically you can get both romance scene, but can't carry on with both romances. I hope it was helpful!
Mmmh I think you locked yourself out of the romance with Gale then I'm afraid, he's supposed to give you the chance to change your mind about Wyll right after you leave the camp after having the dance scene :((@@82evene
@@Chiaeryn as he's confronting me directly, not just an convo line when I approach him? As I just avoided that line and got the astral sex scene, and now he's all over me and that line is gone^^.
He gets an exlamation point as soon as you leave camp after having the dance scene with Wyll basically, but well if you got the astral sex scene then you're fine, no need to stress baby Gale and make him jealous 😂@@82evene
i dont know if it was me who didnt long rest enough or smth but he told me this when we have not even kissed like ever hahah i just imagined us kissing in that magic-lesson cut scene cause i wanted to flirt. dont know if that was enough for devs or if its the character that is emotionally imature? or just overwhelmed tho
I mean, its not actually that bad? At least he didnt mention her all the time to me. Plus I mean why wouldnt he? He was literally groomed and now his ex wants him to blow himself up. She literally said kys. Id talk about that too tbh 😂
Damn,...I regret not romancing him during my first play through. I unexpectedly raised Gale's relationship pretty High with me, but I was going after Astarion instead 😭 lmfaoo Next time
This has annoyed me. In my most recent play through i was trying to get with gale. Done all the romance checks then suddenly i got this scene. I'd only been friendly with Wyll. And even when i chose Gale the game seemed to glitch, so it was like i picked Wyll 🤔
"Hey Gale my bro." ....."Your bro? We wanted to have kids you pos"......"Bro all I did was pull u from a portal and let u stay at the camp." "Gaslighting!!!!"
I love Gale but I swear sometimes he just gets so... Gale. I'm trying to romance Astorian currently and Gale keeps cockblocking me. He keeps inviting me to hang out and flirting with me and it's so awkward for me because I don't wanna upset him. I mean he's such a sweetheart. Though he did accidentally kill Scratch the dog with the necro aura thing so...

Gale has his arc of realising he's a grooming victim, hating Mystra and is furious about her demands, blinded by rage when he tried to show compassion and love to the goddess he adores, and all she showed was neglect and carelessness in their relationship, then banished him when he tried to do something nice but it backfired due to an unexpected turn he never could have anticipated. Then sends his friend to tell him his ex demands he kill himself now, as it's the only way to save the world, then proceeds to immediately find another way to save the day. Like... wth Mystra.
I only talked to him twice and he did this to me when I became official with Astarion. He's bugged as hell
He's probably just written to be delusional 😂
@@ChiaerynLMFAO
@@ChiaerynI mean Larian has said there *is* a bug affecting the romance flags of him, Shadowheart, and Lae’zel.
I want a man like this irl QQ I would never give him up!
100% agreeed, he's such a sweetheart
look at those big brown puppy eyes
how could i say no to this man T_T
I just finished my run as Gale, where I could not romance him since I was playing as him. Now I started a new one with the intention of romancing Astarion but it's going to be difficult I cant say no to Gale :((
Noooooooooo don't cheat on my sweet puppy Gale. I could never 😭😭😭😭
I always do it on old saves just to see his reactions, they're priceless. But yeah it also destroys my heart while doing it 😂
"Sometimes even the power of the Weave seems mundane, compared to how you make me feel." 😭😭😭😭 my doki doki
Why can't we just romance them all? XD
weaponinzing dem puppy brown eyes i see
This man kills me..he is so much nicer about Wyll then Astiron.
The Astarion version is really funny, he says he's scared Astarion is gonna rip off his throat😂
@Chiaeryn He was so mad, he still did the star gazing moment with my Tav, but snapped we should sit in silence. Then he apologize later lol
@@synnduncan3711 oh, that's a bug that became pretty popular after patch 3, it's really annoying
All I did was agree to dance with Wyll and before I knew it he suddenly wanted to kiss Tav.
1:54 *THE LITTLE CHUCKLE KILLED ME*
I had two playthrough with Gale and Astarion romance. Astarion is charming, yes, but Gale, well he is so kind, so smart and gentle, just the man of my dream 😍 Yeah, he had abusive relationship with goddess and he is literally a walking bomb but who cares? He is just perfect for me
If Gale would just realize we could be happy with Halsin also. I mean, dang, with all the orphans you got so many potential baby wizards.
I love him so much oh my gooooooooddddddddddddd my baby
I somehow managed to romance him while actively trying to romance Astarion, in the end I chose Astarion but oh man would I have loved to be with Gale too 😭 in another playthrough 😤
Seriously, I accidentally romanced Gale - and I was starting to think, “oooo actually I like this,” but then he friendzoned himself. Next time, I’ll have to focus my efforts because now the approval glitch is fixed, I feel like they’ve over corrected so it’s easy to accidentally friendzone him if another companion takes interest
i got this scene while romancing karlach (he was talking about wyll and I was like "uhhhhhhhhhhh")
I was romancing Gale and Karlach and he came at me to confront me about Wyll. Wait what. 😅
When he's sad the puppy eyes get dialed up to 11
This happened to me. Did the magic thing and left, he flirted a couple of times when he ws traveling with the group, my character was fully romancing Astarion. Withers said something about bosom buddies and both showed up on the chocies. I was a little confused since nothing actually happened with Gale that suggested him as a bosom buddy and then after having a conversation with Astarion about liking each other (can't remember what triggered that when you tell him you like him), Gale was all mad about not letting him know you choose Astarion but there was no you need to dump Gale choice when talking to Astarion first. After that there was a scene where your sitting with Gale looking at the scenery (impending doom of him blowing himself up) and he wanted you to sit with him but at the same time all nice dialog chocies made him mad. I think he even said we weren't friends or that close. The same thing happened on another play through with Wyll. You dance but no kissing an all of the sudden you are in a relationship. At least he was nicer about being friends when you broke up. I think the magic scene with Gale is described in such a way it's actually like Mystra is watching you and Gale.
Apparently him getting pissed at all the nice dialogue choices when you're looking at the stars was a glitch that has since been patched. I had flirted with him a few times but never had to turn him down (I had to turn down Wyll for Astarion) and I felt like my only dialogue options were either "sucks to suck, dude" or romantic, no platonic choice available and he got soooo pissed at the romantic dialogue, I read a month later that Larian fixed Gale's "attitude problem" during that scene.
Awe omg poor Gale!!!
IS HE IN TEARS? IM CRYING
"not when I would give all of myself for you" as if bestie wouldn't drop us the second Mystra offered to give him a second chance lmao
He wouldn't
@@Chiaeryn idk man, I love Gale, but I think we'll always be second to spell mommy lmao
I like, that in the origin version of his audience with Mystra, you can tell her that you didn't sacrifice yourself because you have moved on from her and there is someone else now, while during the Act II finale you can justify refusing the explosion with not wanting to harm all of your friends. I wish the none-origin version of Gale had some way to express similar sentiments.
@@anska7475 I honestly was expecting something like that when I played the first time and I was kind of disappointed, but then I played as him and was so happy to see that option !
Hurting Gale makes me physically ill. I get nauseous seeing him heartbroken 😢
Hm....I should create a tall, buff elven female wizzard and go this route. It seems fun!
Well, that and I don't think I'll be able to suffer through another trauma that is Karlach's romance.
Omg he's so cute I can't 😢
SAY YOURE SORRY TO HIM RIGHT NOW
oh phew you changed ur mind sorry i got so sad
@@gmzolivia I could never choose anyone else over him don't worry 😂
NOOO THAT THE FIRST SENTENCE MAKING MY HEART BREAK!!! ahhhh
He’s so precious ❤
Oh. My. Word! My heart 🥺💔❤️🔥 it burnses us!
I guess it hurt worse watching this, because I went through a heartbreak myself when my husband didn't want me or our four little ones, and left. Granted, it was 10 years ago, but it's still fairly fresh, especially since his recent death. For those years of separation, the kids and I still had hope that he would get his life back together and come back to us. No such luck.
WHY IS HE SO FUCKING NICE 😫😫😫
We are not worthy of you, you beautiful man 🥺
“Call me greedy, stubborn, old fashioned.” It’s Monogamy and it’s not something to be shameful of
Gale claiming he'd give all of himself to you when he never shuts up about his ex 😂
"with you i forget my goddess" - gale
his ex is literally the deity that gives him his powers, cut him some slack lol he cant just forget about her shes the goddess of magic (and groomed him)
@@givebackmybreadsticksI'm nearly at act II and all hes done is say he'd like to bone at some point in the future, not now though where there's an inn with private rooms. The time isn't right>_>
@@givebackmybreadstickssay it louder for the gale haters in the back. 'just forget her lol', thats like telling an ex-christian to forget how much they used to love jesus
THAT DOES IT I'M ROMANCING THE PURPLE WIZARD 😭
but dude.. my Tav been listening to your tales about your relationship with Mystra in Act 1.. she also thought she had no chance, y'know?? and then you get jealous when i promised Astarion a 'good time' during the Tiefling's celebration??????? my Tav and me have never been so confused lol i actually had to google what would happen if we spend time together that night..
I kinda wished he was more reistent to fixing things i feel like going from absolutely crushed and heart broken to overjoyed that you prefer him even without a proper apology or cooldown moment just feels really desperate and sad and i wish it wasnt so easy to fix makes it feel empty like you can break his heart without consequences
the point is that he is a broken and lonely person and is fine being trampled on. also, im not exactly sure why he should apologise? he just caught you cheating on him. if you want to look at it from a 'realistic' human perspective, he shouldnt even be asking which one of them you want since by that point any emotionally healthy person wouldve just dumped your ass
also spoilers for act 3
act 3 circus confirms that he genuinely believes the world would be better off if he was dead. when you choose him he becomes elated because he feels like someone is actually caring about him and that hes alive.
I’m romancing Gale and adore him, but I wanted to see Wyll’s scene play out. Got this chat with Gale the next day, and it’s enough of a wrist slap for me to never want to do it again. 😂 I’m so sorry, Gale.
He used to come at me with this when we werent even dating
I smiled at this man once and suddenly he looks like a kicked puppy when I have a pleasant conversation with anyone else
I was lucky to have Gale as a friend
He also has a really hostile version of this scene, i got it when i started a romance with minthara after committing to gale ... Maybe I'm crazy but he's really hot when he's jealous
Damnit I can relay to too many of the comments below :') I'm playing lovestory with Gale now, while I planned to have other games with at least Astaroin and Wyll, but I also have doubts that I manage refuse Gale in those 😭😭😭😭I'm already thinking to not take him with me at all in those games to avoid unlocking my feelings for him .......
I saw tears in Gale’s eyes. It’s sad.😢
I remember the night after I did the deed with Karlach Gale wanted to talk with my character so I talked with him and he told me all of this and I was like "Huh?????" I barely took him with me in my travels, he essentially never leaves the camp and whenever I talked with him it was to feed him magical artifacts/items. (My party consists of Shadowheart, Karlach and Astarion. Ffs I've even had Wyll and Lae'zel in my party more than Gale) This was definitely on Gale because I dropped heavy hints that I was trying to romance Astarion, Halsin and Karlach and unintentionally Lae'zel (I ended up going with Karlach in the end)
I just had the hug scene with Astarion and Gale was so sad and jealous and it broke my heart to say “I’m sorry, it’s Astarion.” I was like “Gale, don’t be too sad. Next playthrough it will be you!”
You do one nice gesture for Gale and suddenly he’s casting enlarge on himself. Like.. sir, please chill
i’m so glad i romanced gale cause he’s the sweetest companion ever 😭 after you finish his quest he calls you “my love” and omg, in here for all of it. he’s a massive green flag too 😭🙏💕
it makes complete sense with the characters but aaaaaa i love gale so much and i love everyone else and i hate being forced to chose but also like this is just good character writing having not everyone being comfortable with polyamory. tho ig thats what mods or multiple playthroughs are for
My ❤... 😢
3rd playthrough, romanced gale. Best butterflies in my stomach. My first 2 playthrough was neutral good Tav and Evil durge and I hooked astarion & halsin like a harem.
No one makes you feel so bad as Gale xD
But to me, I was going to follow my heart ❤️
Hes not jealous hes hurt
MY HEARTTTTTTTTTTTT
How dare you hurt my baby girl?! 😡 I'll take Gale anytime of the day thank you very much!
Bruh you should see the dialog if you sleep with him in act 2 and then tell your other boo the next day you'd rather be with them. "An icicle through the heart would have been kinder"
And this is why I just make multiple saves for romances and say no to anyone flirting that isnt the companion I picked. Cause I cant do this, Id cry just knowing they are jealous / hurting XD
I had this happen after 1 dance with Wyll. What I want to know is how Gale knew? No one else saw us; it was in the middle of the night and everyone else was supposed to be asleep.
Do you have to kiss Wyll after the dance to trigger this scene?
@A.cozy.ghosty I think I did . No one else was there though. Guess the main character isn't good at hiding their feelings.
this is just heartbreaking (ГАT)
I knowwwwwwwwwww :(
this man is so great!
and then the game make him throw everything in the trash just to became a god cause i didn't selected some option to RETURN to mystra with the crown even if i passed a 30 dc test.
I had to kill Gale temporarily in act 2 because he kept popping up in my butler scene instead of Astarion. I never once flirted with him and even got this scene and rejected him beforehand but HE STILL THOUGHT WE WERE TOGETHER.
It made the butler's comments meaningless since I didn't care if the urge did the thing to Gale at that point.
How could you do this to himmmm 😢
Gale is so sweet, my character got to marry him at the end of the game 😭😭😭😭😭
Do you know if you can proceed in both romances past the first 2nd romance scene with one of them? I only just got the dance scene with Wyll and didn't have the actual chance to bond really with Gale just yet. Is that chance gone once you kiss Wyll?
Gale doesn't share. I don't know about Wyll. But yeah, if you had the dance scene with Wyll you should get Gale having this jealous scene right after the dance scene and if you choose him you will also get Gale's romance scene, so yeah technically you can get both romance scene, but can't carry on with both romances. I hope it was helpful!
@@Chiaeryn so far its just a line I can choose in conversation, will he one day upfront approach me?
Mmmh I think you locked yourself out of the romance with Gale then I'm afraid, he's supposed to give you the chance to change your mind about Wyll right after you leave the camp after having the dance scene :((@@82evene
@@Chiaeryn as he's confronting me directly, not just an convo line when I approach him? As I just avoided that line and got the astral sex scene, and now he's all over me and that line is gone^^.
He gets an exlamation point as soon as you leave camp after having the dance scene with Wyll basically, but well if you got the astral sex scene then you're fine, no need to stress baby Gale and make him jealous 😂@@82evene
i dont know if it was me who didnt long rest enough or smth but he told me this when we have not even kissed like ever hahah i just imagined us kissing in that magic-lesson cut scene cause i wanted to flirt. dont know if that was enough for devs or if its the character that is emotionally imature? or just overwhelmed tho
Ironic that he's a sad jealous type but won't stop talking about his ex, ever
I mean, its not actually that bad? At least he didnt mention her all the time to me. Plus I mean why wouldnt he? He was literally groomed and now his ex wants him to blow himself up. She literally said kys.
Id talk about that too tbh 😂
Damn,...I regret not romancing him during my first play through. I unexpectedly raised Gale's relationship pretty High with me, but I was going after Astarion instead 😭 lmfaoo
Next time
I chose Lae’zel over him because I thought I could come back to him later - nope! 😭 That’ll teach me I guess lol
This has annoyed me. In my most recent play through i was trying to get with gale. Done all the romance checks then suddenly i got this scene. I'd only been friendly with Wyll. And even when i chose Gale the game seemed to glitch, so it was like i picked Wyll 🤔
Sorry, Gale. I choose Wyll.
i smashed karlach then ditched her for shadowheart but i feel really bad for doing that after knowing her struggle..
Gale is slightly cross eyed but its cute af😭😭😭😭
"Hey Gale my bro." ....."Your bro? We wanted to have kids you pos"......"Bro all I did was pull u from a portal and let u stay at the camp." "Gaslighting!!!!"
Ugh. You romanced Wyll to get this scene? Could've gone with a more interesting choice
Is he jealous? I feel sad 😢
I love Gale but I swear sometimes he just gets so... Gale.
I'm trying to romance Astorian currently and Gale keeps cockblocking me. He keeps inviting me to hang out and flirting with me and it's so awkward for me because I don't wanna upset him. I mean he's such a sweetheart. Though he did accidentally kill Scratch the dog with the necro aura thing so...
